Alex – NetSpot

Is the position detected by NetSpot completely incorrect? Or just not exact? You will be able to manually position APs found by NetSpot in version 2.0. There’s a beta version available to beta testers at macdeveloper.net – you can become one.

That’s right. Thanks. Please reference this topic on your email

Hi Craig, thanks for giving NetSpot a try! First of all, we would really love to have a look at your project to recommend something more practical. All other advice will be theoretical as we have no idea what exactly we are dealing with. And you are definitely right that it might be tough to deal with auto-switching neighboring networks conflicting your own configured wireless net. In most cases installing additional APs is the only solution. However, having a better look at your map will definitely help. NetSpot 2.0 will actually attempt to provide you with hints and recommendations that might help you resolve identifiable issues.

Never compared them, and I am sure that comparing ANY wireless devices would produce completely different results. If you are sure that MacBook’s adapter is stronger, then you can assume the connection speed and coverage quality for other devices based on the map you get in NetSpot. In fact, we are planning to add external WiFi adapters’ support in future releases, but that will require an AirPort compatible device in fact.
